My pearls

[Reese]

I don’t know what to do with them. I love them. They are stunning. But I have no occasion to wear them. They were a gift but I do know that they were very pricey. I can’t find another strand quite like it anywhere to compare them. I have no idea what to do with them. Any suggestions?

Who needs an occasion? I wear my pearls to Walmart and the library!

Me, too. Groceries, Costco, watching tv, I wear pearl earrings to do yardwork.

Yeah! I wear mine when I’m doing the laundry!

I live nomadically, literally living in a small teardrop camper and a huge tent, so those pearls just don’t fit with my lifestyle. Like I said, they were a gift. I’m really just looking for any information about finding a buyer for them.

If you are reluctant to wear them because they were "very pricey," the average person won't know that. I remember a story by a woman in Tahitians who got a compliment on her pretty beads.
Another thought, you say they were a gift -- wear them when you see the gift-giver.

There is no buying or selling on this forum, but there is eBay! There is also a pre-owned jewelry selling site called Loupe Troop. But you'll get more eyes on them if you list them on eBay. To get an idea of how to price them, do a search on eBay for similar necklaces that have already sold.

Thank you. Yeah, I looked on eBay. I can’t find anything like mine. I couldn’t even find any like mine on pearl source.

A gift giver is an ex-boyfriend. I won’t be seeing him again. And I have no place to wear them because I literally live in a tent/camper in the forest lol

Then start an auction at the minimum you would be happy to get for the necklace, and let demand determine the final price.

Here is a website that sells mixed pearl necklaces. This is retail pricing, and as a seller you would not get this much, but it gives you an idea:

Tahitian Pearl Necklaces with Tahitian Pearls and 14 karat or 18k Gold

Buy a high quality tahitian pearl necklace with extensive collection of golden, white and black south sea pearl necklace at discount prices.

Are these freshwater pearls?

Are these freshwater pearls?

I'm wondering, too. A better photo would help.
If the original poster isn't in a hurry, she could look for a consignment jeweler.
